I found the problem with IE and XHR. Funny thing about Microsoft. They invent things, then they break them, and then they invent new ones, without fixing the old ones :) Same pattern goes for the XHR, which was invented by MS. Starting from IE 8 they have a new XHR object called XDomainRequest, because XMLHttpRequest had been restricted to same-domain policy. jQuery on the other hand has a great extensibility feature. So I found this plugin on GitHub, that silently replaces XMLHttpRequest with XDomainRequest on IE: https://github.com/dkastner/jquery.iecors
Now my example page works with AJAX requests on IE8 too. As for XHR2 - it does not matter weather it's XHR level 1 or XHR level 2 (XHR2, which is still a working draft as I saw on W3C), because XHR2 just introduces file upload and other fancy web2.0 stuff. For simple AJAX requests XHR1 is enough and it works on MSIE3.0-10.0. -- Gusts Kaksis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
